==History==
Treehouse was founded by Ryan Carson (born 1977) who is currently its CEO. Carson was born in Colorado Springs and graduated from Colorado State University with a Computer Science degree. After graduating, he worked for Fingal, a design agency in London before moving to Bath, United Kingdom. In 2004, Ryan and Gillian Carson founded Carsonified, a company built towards training web designers and developers. It also created web applications and hosted web industry events, conferences and workshops. Carsonified's Headquarters were located in Bath, United Kingdom. In 2008 DropSend, a product created by Carson's company Carsonified, was sold. In 2011, Ryan sold the company which is now named Future Insights and started working on his new project, Treehouse.
In 2013, Treehouse was founded, with Ryan as Founder and CEO. The purpose of the project was to offer affordable technology education to people all around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/unlock-awesome-treehouse-rewards )〕 In 2012 he moved with his family to Portland, Oregon.〔Butcher, Mike. End Of An Era As ‘The Geekfather’ Ryan Carson Departs For New Shores, n.d, http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/07/end-of-an-era-as-the-geekfather-ryan-carson-departs-for-new-shores/〕 The company emerged from Carson's previous company, Carsonified, and its video-tutorial service known as Think Vitamin Membership. Ryan Carson decided to redesign and rebrand the site as Treehouse because the name "reflects the wonder of learning as a child." In July 2013, Treehouse released its first iPad app for accessing Treehouse's content. They also released (in 2014) an Android app and added a course for Apple’s Swift programming language.
